Blind Abilities Podcast

Olga Mahler joins Jeff Thompson from Warsaw, Poland where she and her husband are helping accommodate visually Blind and Visually Impaired refugees from Ukraine with shelter, assistance, a bed and working with a Swedish non-profit A Demand for Action.  Without knowing how she would be able to help, Olga and her family packed up some supplies and flew into Poland with determination and a will to help anyway she could. When A Demand for Action needed some translation, Olga stepped up and with her connections to the Blind Boarding school which she attended in Ukraine, everybody benefited.
